Thank you so much for a very interesting talk. I never ever miss an opportunity to listen to Magnus. Alec and Magnus are always very very interesting and Magnus is one of the advisors who call the South African investment scene correctly, in my humble opinion. Many thanks.

As a pilot who's been flying outside SA for 20 years, Magnus is spot on. A honest open factual appraisal of expat opportunities and those in SA.

Thank you especially to Alec for excellent content creation

It would be great to be able to see the presentation he is referring to at the same time.

Actually; this has been requested SEVERAL times .... What gives ? ! 🤔🙄😡💩🪰

[@bertramhall6131]

Thanks for a really interesting discussion. Talking of political maturity, our provincial and local officials need to sharpen up and actually do some constructive work or else there is only disaster ahead.

a vanguard S&P 500 index fund is exactly a set and forget. There are other platforms. Over a 10 year period You can expect a 9% return, on average , compounded year after year, in USD. Past 160 years bears this out .

[@hlits6310]

Research shows that today’s out performing fund managers are more often than not, tomorrow’s under performing fund managers. This is why there is always a disclaimer saying that past performance is not indicative of future performance.

[@hlits6310]

In an S&P 500 index fund, we know exactly what’s in the box. If it’s good for Warren Buffett, it’s good for the man in the street.

[@hlits6310]

I likeMagnus however, After fees and after capital gains tax you’re better off just going with straight (for eg) vanguard S&P 500 index fund and doing nothing for 10 or more years except sitting on your hands

Who is bigger ... ICASA or Starlink? Of course Starlink! ICASA is by far the junior of Starlink and therefore ICASA must apply for a license agreement to connect to Starlink. As the senior partner, Starlink must dictate the terms of licensing to ICASA and not the other way round! Starlink must demand non - racialism from ICASA as precondition before approving an ICASA license. ICASA has no idea of it's own (in)significance in relation to Starlink. We now need adults in ICASA to secure this Starlink deal!
